inset
Map within map
An inset is something set within something larger—a small map in the corner of a bigger map, a photograph placed within a page layout, or a decorative panel fitted into a door.
As a verb, to inset is to set something within a surrounding space: The jeweler inset diamonds along the band.
The word emphasizes placement inside rather than on top of.
